Information Technology Project Management, 4th Edition

The 4th Edition of Jack Marchewka's Information Technology
Project Management focuses on how to create Measurable
Organizational Value (MOV) through IT projects. The author uses the
concept of MOV, combined with his own research, to create a solid
foundation for making decisions throughout the project's lifecycle.
The book's integration of project management and IT concepts
provides students with the tools and techniques they need to
develop in this field.

• The Project Management Body of Knowledge ("PMBOK") areas
have been updated to reflect the latest edition of PMBOK
Guide®.
• Several Quick Thinking exercises have been replaced or
updated. These short cases provide a useful pedagogical tool for
in-class discussions to increase a student's level of
learning.
• A new integrated case called the Martial Arts Academy has
been added at the end of each chapter. Along with the Husky Air
cases, these cases provide students with an opportunity to work as
a project team.
• A third and new case has been added to the end of each
chapter. These cases provide an opportunity for higher-level
analysis and discussion.
• Three Microsoft Project® tutorials have been added to
the fourth edition. These tutorials provide a foundation for
learning, using, and applying the concepts of the text to the
integrated case assignments.

• Takes you through the different phases of the project
life cycle and introduces the concepts and tools that are
appropriate for each specific phase of the project.
• Emphasizes MOV as a central theme in the text.
• Incorporates nine areas outlined in the Project Management
Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) into the
basic concepts associated with information systems management and
software engineering.

packaged with every new textbook. The full unlimited version of
Project is available via MSDNAA, free with a Wiley adoption.
